Sailing regatta specialists, Britannia Corporate Events, has today announced the formation of a joint venture partnership with Solent and Caribbean based charter events and training company, ONDECK. The venture will see ONDECK and Britannia begin cross marketing activities in 2008 and launch two new corporate regattas. The combined operation will also create one of the UK’s largest charter fleets with 26 yachts.

Britannia's core business and expertise is the organisation of sector specific regattas. Through the partnership ONDECK will offer Britannia's portfolio of 15 regattas to its extensive blue chip client base. It will also partner in the launch of two new regattas for 2008. The first of these will be the Advertising, Brands and Communications Cup (ABC Cup), which will be held in Cowes and Portsmouth, in September 2008. The second will be the Financial Services Regatta which will also take place in September 2008 with a fleet of over 50 yachts.

The joint venture will also see Britannia market ONDECK’s sea school, charter offering and corporate hospitality packages in the Solent, Antigua and the US Virgin Islands. The partnership will combine a fleet of 28 yachts and motor boats, creating one of the largest fleets in the charter market and will include 14 Beneteau 40.7s, 4 Farr 65s, 4 Farr 40s, 2 Dehler39s, 1 Fjord 40, the Pindar Volvo 60, the Pindar Open 60 and corporate hospitality vessel Hatherleigh.

Commenting on the joint venture partnership, Simon Boulding, Marketing Manager of Britannia said: “This is one of the most significant developments the UK market has seen in recent years. Our portfolios combine perfectly to offer real benefit to our clients and real competitive advantage to both our companies. We look forward to working with ONDECK in 2008 and beyond.”

ONDECK Director, Charlotte Williams commented: “ONDECK has had a fantastic record year. The joint venture with Britannia Corporate Events is very exciting and we are looking forward to working together to provide truly first class regattas, corporate hospitality and yacht charter.”
